Patent number: 10736763Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for intermittently obstructing a bodily opening, such as a gastric opening, and includes a proximal member connected to a distal member by a tether. The proximal member includes an apron member surrounding a first occluding member, which is formable from an elongated and narrower configuration to a contracted or expanded but wider configuration. When employed in the stomach, the device of the present invention is arranged transluminally, with the distal member disposed in the duodenum and the proximal member disposed against the pyloric valve, intermittently occluding the pyloric valve and preventing or delaying the flow of gastric contents through the pyloric valve. In certain embodiments, a reservoir may be included for releasing a substance of interest, for example for releasing insulin from a reservoir disposed in the distal member. Sensors, actuators, and data transmission devices may also be included.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: BAROnova, Inc.Inventors: Daniel R. Burnett, Hugh Narciso, Paul Paspa, David Wiser, Stephen L. Meade

Publication number: 20170204552Abstract: A unitary dispenser box assembly for a washing machine appliance is provided. The dispenser box includes a mixing chamber, a plurality of valve seats, a cold water manifold, and water inlets that are integrally formed from a single, continuous piece of plastic. The dispenser box simplifies assembly, reduces parts, and minimizes the likelihood of leaks. The dispenser box thereby reduces costs while increasing the performance and efficiency of the washing machine appliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: Alexander Boris Leibman, David Wiser

Patent number: 8135772Abstract: A number of approaches can be taken to improve the routing of client requests to business protocol destinations. In one such approach, a business servlet registers itself as a default servlet such that it receives any request not recognized by the system. In another embodiment, internal APIs can be used to route all messages to a business servlet, which can use internal APIs to redirect the request if the business servlet does not recognize the request. In another embodiment, filters can be used in conjunction with a lookup table containing address information to route requests to the proper destination. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: David Wiser

Patent number: 7840532Abstract: A large message can be stored by separating the message into an envelope portion containing information such as headers, protocols, and addresses, and a payload portion containing items such as file attachments. The envelope portion can be stored in local storage, while the payload can be stored to a persistent store. The message can be processed incrementally, such that the entire message is never in system memory. Once the envelope portion is processed, the payload portion can be read in increments without being processed, and those increments written directly to the persistent store. Alternatively, the payload can be streamed to the persistent store. A pointer in the envelope can then be used to locate and retrieve attachments from persistent storage. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: David Wiser, Sanjay Dalal, Pascal Hoebanx

Patent number: 7356532Abstract: Messages between trading partners can be processed persistently using a persistence framework, which can include a transaction manager, a locking manager, and a logging mechanism. A transaction manager can initiate a transaction for a request, and can enlist and modify any object or resource useful in processing the request. A locking manager can lock any of these objects, using inflated and/or individual locks, to prevent other resources or transactions from accessing the object during the transaction. A logging component can track any modifications of the object, while a transaction manager can manage state for the object. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2005Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: BEA Systems, Inc.Inventors: David Wiser, Sanjay Dalal

Patent number: 7143186Abstract: An enterprise wide electronic commerce system allows trading partners to act as participants in a complex trading process. Participants communicate with one another by joining conversations that are hosted in a collaboration space and managed by a collaboration hub. In this manner, the enterprise workflow may have an effect on, or be affected by, local workflows. The invention provides a pluggable hub system for enterprise wide electronic collaboration. An embodiment of the invention includes a collaboration hub for use with a collaboration system, comprising a hub transport for receiving messages from participants and sending messages to participants, a hub router for routing messages from a first participant to a second participant, a hub scheduler for scheduling the flow of messages between the hub router and the hub transport, a conversation manager for managing the flow of messages between participants, and a repository for storing conversation management data.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: BEA Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rocky Stewart, Pal Takacsi-Nagy, Pascal Hoebanx, Sanjay Dalal, David Wiser
